• Subject Area: Basic Research in Biology and Medicine
• Term: from 1997 to 2006
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 272273

The aim of this research training group is a synthesis of differentscientific disciplines: biochemistry, microbiology, molecularbiology, cell biology, ecotoxicology, molecular medicine.Different methodical approaches are applied to the scientificanalysis of stress response in different biological systems. Theprogram accompanies and supports young researchers and specialists during the progress of their thesis in order to improve their individual knowledge by offering interdisciplinary contacts. The program includes seminars, lectures, colloquia and practical courses on special research projects, involving distinguished scientists from all over Europe.
